I went looking for my safe harbor. It wasn't there. I know it was there yesterday. The Theory of Relativity must be falling apart, dammit!

You should put on an Aluminium hat, that will protect you from the aftershocks of Relativity coming apart. Which could also be a movie coming to a theatre near you soon

That's "film", dammit.

Bjarne, there are less than 6 months left, I seem to have missed the consternation in the physics world where observations would make the theory of relativity fall apart.
How are things on your end?

It would be a shame if this thread just vanished when there was such a clear timeframe predicted.

I doubt we'll hear from Bjarne anytime soon. They seem the sort who bides their time until they find something to spin. They have their hands full with keeping the old links on their old claims up to date! This link for example references a YouTube video that's no longer available, among other issues:

Still a month or so before the one experiment that Bjarne is going on about even launches:

There will be 6 months of calibration bringing us to February 2018. Then at least a year of data gathering - February 2019. Add a few months to write papers and the earliest we can expect results is the middle of 2019 and it may be 2010.

The damned enviros have pretty well banned the stuff, just because it's a wee bit toxic. Who cares, when it's such fun to play with it? You can't find it in barometers, thermometers or thermostats any more.

But that's the thing, relativity has to be wrong. I still have a thermometer with Mercury and I never see any precession.

Relativity is safe for the time being, but I have concerns about this woman's sports bra's structural integrity:

I'm not complaining, far from it. In the interest of equal time, here's an image of the opposite gender:

I know, I know, there's more than one "gender" and I really did try to find some other examples, but my searches kept bring up fetish porn instead of a simple sports related looped GIFs of, say, a weight lifting trans woman.

I think there's a commentary on the nature of society's relationship with transgender people that my effort to represent them in this post was stymied by pornographic material.

I have been busy writing, articles as well as a new book, with the title "Modified Theory of relativity"

Sooner or later the data is ready.
But I have to say I have not hear more about the ISS measurement project, even not whether it have started according to the 2017 plan .
In the meantime take it easy..,
I have been written articles about the opposite "force" - it is easier, faster, and much more choking to get started from there.
Read the articles I wrote. - These are connected to the same red thread.
